So, now that the travel update is out of the way and you know what I’ve been up to, I am free to ramble on about the amazing foods I’ve tried over the last year on my travels. Mexico was a wonderful territory to revisit. When I say this I don’t mean that I’ve been there before, but that my parents owned two Mexican restaurants … Continue reading Mexico: a first impression

Now back at work onboard a new yacht, I have slipped back into the perpetual day dreaming that my work tasks tend to induce. My mind often wanders, it squeezes out of my ear and floats off lazily, into the recesses of my memories. Admittedly, there aren’t a whole lot of places it really goes to… places I have seen and food I have eagerly … Continue reading How India changed the food game for me

When I was back home a few weeks ago I took a trip up to my mothers home and where she grew up; Alsace. Alsace is a region right on the border of Germany and Switzerland, and it has alternated between French and German control over the centuries and the wars. Home of sauerkraut and known for its sausages, the cuisine truly reflects the cultures … Continue reading Christmas markets in Alsace: the snack edition.

We spent my birthday in NOLA a few weeks ago and there’s one place that keeps clawing itself to the forefront of my brain. We walked past Pêche on our first expedition from the hotel to the French Quarter, and as soon as I looked at the menu, I knew we were meant to be together. First up: oysters. Louisiana oysters, which are simply huge … Continue reading REVIEW: PÊCHE, NEW ORLEANS

Yesterday I woke up paralyzed. My neck was completely stuck, and my body just couldn’t move an inch. Lucky me to be staying with my parents until I fly out to the Caribbean onto my next yacht employer, I was able to call out a strangled “MUUM! SOS!” at 6am for a hand sitting up and a good dose of heat cream. So, bedridden as … Continue reading RECIPE: Apple Cake

A few weeks ago, when I was still stateside and basking in the Floridian sunshine, my boyfriend Lachie and I decided to take a day trip from our AirBnB stay in West Palm Beach to head to Miami. Following the suggestion of a friend we headed straight to Wynwood, the funky street art district of the ocean-side city. Wynwood is many things, but mainly it’s … Continue reading REVIEW: Wynwood walls and 1800-Lucky, MIAMI

The past few weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. I have had many a delicious meal which I’ve tried to keep up on my instagram, but I just haven’t been able to find the time to sit and write. This whole blogging thing is new to me afterall! My boyfriend and I have scored a job together in the elusive career path that we have … Continue reading Back home in the land of CHEESE, BREAD and WINE (aka La France)

After spending a month in Japan last year there is an almost never ending display of delicious memories that seem to blur my vision day to day like a Kaleidoscope. So it’s definitely difficult to pic any winner, but some tasty treats do stand out. Taiyaki is a traditional Japanese waffle about the size of a hand, usually filled with sweet red bean paste or … Continue reading Taiyaki Ice Cream at TaiyakiNYC

A few days ago we celebrated my birthday, as I mentioned on here before. We had been in Louisiana for a few days but hadn’t yet had oysters. If you stick with me, you’ll understand that I am head over heels in love with these gross-but-amazing little ocean treats. So when Lachlan, my boyfriend, asked me what I wanted to eat that day (notice “eat”, … Continue reading Louisiana oysters, my forehead, and other giant things
